Angela here with a belated blog post. I apologise for not getting this up earlier but as you all know, life can be tricky at times. Anyway, i want to highlight a fabulous CT member of Jenn's who has been around for a while and has created some stunning LO's during her time on the team. Debra aka 4noisyboys has kindly answered some questions for me so we can all get to know her a little better.


How long have you been digi scrapping and how did you get started? I've been digi scrapping for 3 years now. I saw an article about digital scrapping in my paper scrap magazine, and I was totally intrigued. I had done a little paper scrapping, but hated having to get out all my supplies and put everything away. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, but I downloaded a trial of PSE3, and just searched as many sites as I could so I that I could understand it. I remember telling a friend that I wasn't going to be doing anything else until I figured this thing out! I was just so excited and knew that it was for me.

Do you have a certain style?

I don't really have a certain style. One thing is for certain, and that is that I love templates. I do like a clean looking layout, and I've tried a few that have a lot of white space. I'm not m
uch into fantasy layouts though, or one with too many elements. They're pretty to look at, but I'm not going to try to make them.

How often do you get to scrap?

I usually scrap a few times a week. It really depends on my work schedule. Some weeks I just have more time, and I can pump out quite a few, and other weeks I might only get on
e or two layouts done.

Where do you go for inspiration?
I love to look at MSA's and The Lilypad's galleries for inspiration! I also have a few favorite galleries that I've bookmarked and go see some of their work.

Do you have a quirky habit that you would like to share?
I have a habit of being inquisitive. I have to ask a thousand questions of every customer I get in my store. Quirky....maybe not...but I just can't stop myself.

Besides Digi Scrappi
ng, what other hobbies do you have?
I love to travel whenever I can and I love to read. I don't do a lot of other crafts anymore though...I just don't have the time.



I will leave you now with a few of my fave LO's of Debra's so you can see for yourself just how talented she is. The images are linked so please fo and leave some love for her.








Bye for now,
Ange

Customer Layouts Highlights

Hi everyone!
I'm Marisa and today I'm bringing some highlights of the customer! I'm sorry if my English is not correct... I am Brazilian and my English is terrible! hehehe
There were so many beautiful layouts so it was very difficult to choose just a few...
Here are three pages and one hybrid that stood out to me!
I love how the design swirls around the bottom of the page, as well as the arrangement of photos with small elements!
I love ribbons, bows, strings and cut papers! And this picture fits perfectly with this kit boy!

This LO holds the attention away from the traditional 12x12! The large photos and the elements and give an outline distributed at the page!

The owl has a special charm! In addition to pretty much serves to remind us that the digital scrap is real! Imagine creating our personalized Christmas cards?
I hope that you enjoyed the my statements!
Image is linked, so please go leave her some love!

Customer Highlights

Hi everyone!! This is Jessica today and Im bringing you some customer highlights. There were so many gorgeous layouts so it was really hard to choose just a couple. Here are a few that stood out to me though...(images are linked so stop by and check out these layouts for yourself)



This one titled Love My Sister by Stacey is so cute. The photo is really sweet and the colors really pop against the white background and black/white photo.





This one by Nzhinga stood out at first because of the title but then once I clicked on it and read the journaling it had me laughing. The photos are too funny and make the journaling so much better!! With the simplicity of the layout it really makes you focus on the photos and journaling.





Now this one by Jennamy82 is gorgeous!! I love the bright colors against the muted colors in the ph0to and the use of whitespace is perfect!! I just loved everything about this layout!!




This layout by Daisydil is really sweet. You can just feel the love between this little girl and her dog. I love the color scheme on this one as well. Its just an all around incredible layout!!




This layout by Uinthas stood out again because of the colors she chose for her layout. She kept it simple so the focus is brought to the photos and she is such a cutey-pie!!
